Yadier Molina broke a tied Game 7 in the ninth inning with a two-run homer to lift the Cards into the World Series vs. the Tigers. Ronnie Belliard's squeeze bunt scored St. Louis' other run in the second to back Jeff Suppan's dominant start, in which he allowed the Mets two hits over seven-plus innings.

David Wright gave the Mets a good start with an RBI single in the first, and Endy Chavez's catch to rob the Cards of a two-run homer seemed to indicate a magical night was ahead. But Aaron Heilman allowed a tiebreaking two-run homer in the ninth that a subsequent rally couldn't overcome.
